Replace the nics and you'll see the problems should go away. I haven't seen any problems so far with my equipment. > Computer 1: > > Pentium 3 @ 733Mhz > Board with SIS Chipset. > NIC's: SIS900 & Realtek 8139 My laptop has an 8139 and it works fine. > AMD XP 2600+ > Board ASUS A7V8X-MX Chipset VIA KT400 > NIC's: VIA Rhine If you don't solve it I'll check with my Rhine. > Please gimme some answer ASAP.. i'm getting crazy :( Start by getting it up to 100Mbit on the old kernel and then ask for more help as 12Mbit/s points to other problems. // Stefan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
